In this study, the buckling analysis of layered cylindrical shells with functionally graded material face sheets subjected to an axial compressive load is investigated. The dimensionless axial buckling load of layered cylindrical shells with functionally graded material face sheets is obtained. Effects of volume fractions of functionally graded material face sheets and cylindrical shell characteristics on the dimensionless axial buckling load have been studied.
